Do you believe in Santa Claus???
I grew up writing a letter with Santa Claus every Christmas and dreaming that he will get it on the next day. With full of smile I will immediately check my Christmas sock if the letter is gone I am jumping with excitement that Santa Claus got my letter and I will have my gift on the Christmas day.
Of course my parents is the one who will grant my Christmas wish, it took me three years believing with Santa Claus and I do not have any regrets with it.
This year my Little Kulit is six years old and he is aware of what is happening and he is excited in every occasion that we celebrate. He is also starting to ask me about Santa Claus; since he was born we always have a family picture with Santa Claus.
I do not want spoil his childhood and ruin his Christmas spirit, as a mom I want him to be happy and experience to be a kid with full of happiness. I bought Christmas socks for him and we put it in his little corner and in our door. Every day he keeps on writing and changing his wish, he is so excited every morning if Santa Claus got his letter.
Since nahilo na ako sa dami ng wish niya kay Santa Claus, I have to beat the time during Christmas Eve. We are already in Subic by this time and the mall will close by 7pm, lucky enough 6:45 pm nasa loob ako ng toys r us. I am so thankful with Ate sales lady for assisting me and hiding the gift para hindi makita ni Little Kulit kahit sobra haba ng pila. She also explained kay Litte Kulit that the gift is already with the reindeer and get ready for Christmas.
Christmas day he is sick, he is not in the mood. But when we told someone is knocking in the balcony and when he went to see who it is he saw the gifts. His eyes is wide open and he is so happily shouting “Mommy, Daddy look there is a gift”, we told him to check it, when he saw the letter he became more excited and shouting this is from Santa Claus. He immediately opened his gifts 🙂
We as his parents we are also happy we are able to grant his wish and give him a memorable Christmas day 🙂
Gifts from Santa Claus
Till next Christmas
I love my son’s reaction every Christmas when he found the toys we hid at the gate or in the room and pretend that it came from Santa 🙂 nakakaaliw din.
oo nga mommy napaka innocent pa talaga nila
Oh that was cute! Im sure he was so happy with the gift! Seeing our kids happy just makes us happier as parents..
yes that is true
My two kids also believe in Santa. Some parents say we shouldn’t make them believe in such things, but I like that they have something to believe in come Christmas time. We just added that Jesus sends out gifts through Santa because he wants to celebrate his birthday with the whole world. 🙂
same here, we always keep reminding him that Christmas is not for gifts only but we are celebrating the birth of Papa Jesus
Oh, how sweet! It always makes us moms’ hearts melt when we see our children happy. Especially on the most wonderful time of the year. It’s like we’re reliving our childhood through them.
our happiness is the happiness of our kids 🙂
Wow. Looks like the Little Kulit was so delighted when he saw the box. I haven’t tried this to my kids yet. Maybe this year 🙂
This is our first time and definitely we will do it again this year
Hay! I miss Christmas already! Time really flies when you’re having so much fun, right?
My dad WAS my childhood Santa Claus and I miss him so bad when the Holidays come. He used to make us sleep early so he could put all those Christmas presents on our beds but one day, nahuli ko siya! Epic fail but I loved him still. God bless:)
Love to be kids 🙂
My son knew that Santa Claus is a mythical figure. Our conviction as a family is to point them to Jesus, the reason for celebrating Christmas. Nevertheless, i’m sure your Little Kulit was so happy to received his wish.
yes he is so happy, at the same time we are reminding him that Christmas is the birth of Papa Jesus also
We’re also doing the same thing every Christmas. Last Christmas, my son is already 3 years old so mas nappreciate na nya ang pasko at c Santa. ganon din yung ginawa namin na may kumatok sa pinto tas iniwan yung gifts. haha! Ang sayang tignan noh? 🙂
oo nakakaaaliw 🙂
such a nice Christmas experience for your little kulit. 🙂
Ang cute ng Christmas socks nyo 🙂 . Last year, I wasn’t able to prepare Santa’s gift to my kids. They already saw their gift boxes coming from us so there’s no surprise anymore.. Maybe this year 🙂
ang hirap magtago lalo na limited lang ang space namin
My son doesn’t really care what he receives every Christmas except when he gets toy cars. LOL! Ignore na lahat ng gifts apart from the cars. Looks like I have a little car enthusiast. LOL
Aww that is so sweet! Ang galing ha naitago niyo talaga gift habang kasama siya. Good job mommy!
ang hirap talaga sa kulit ng anak ko 🙂
My kids never believed Santa existed even when they were younger… XD
We asked our daughter to write a letter to Santa last Christmas. Kaya lang her teachers at school told them na hindi totoo si Santa, lahat daw ng gifts galing kay God. It has something to do with their principal’s religion. But we still gave her gifts from “Santa”.
Oh wla pa namn tinutro sa kanila kaya ngayun pa lang nya nakilalla si Santa, but we remind him that it’s Jesus birthday during Christmas day
Awwww….I grew up knowing Santa Claus is just a character (and later on learned that it’s actually based on a real person) so my kids are the same, haha!
Anyway, just like you, we love seeing the joy in our kids’ faces when they get something they’ve been praying for.
My mom is working in HongKong since 5 yrs old ako. I know the Santa Claus na kagiiwan ng gifts and naglalagay ng candies are my titas and Tito.
Before medyo takot pa si Chelsea sa mga Santa Claus na nakikita nya sa mall pero October last year may nakikita na sayang Santa display and ads. Sabi nya sa akin, good girl sya kaya may narereceive sayang gift. She was so happy nung nakita nya yung malaking box sa tabi ng bed namin pag gising nya.
their happy face is so priceless 🙂
My five year old still believes in Santa Claus. Last Christmas, he jumped for joy when he opened his gift and saw that Santa gave him what he wished for. 🙂
🙂 ang sarap ng feeling
That’s really cute! Personally, I grew up somehow knowing that Santa Claus is not real and that my gifts came from my parents lol. I only realise now that Santa Claus is barely mentioned at home! It’s the same for my son since I’m only passing on what I grew up knowing. But I think his story is a really nice Christmas story.
Surely the little kulit was happy with his gift. And I bet until now he plays with it. Receiving letters all the more make the experience.fun and exciting. Haha, the little kulit is just so cute.
I don’t see anything wrong in telling kids about Santa. I grew up believing in Santa Claus as well. LOL! It’s fun and when you get to the point that you realize that your real Santa is your mom and dad, it just makes their gifts become extra special.
Kids are easy to please plus the joy in their faces are really priceless 🙂 My kids are not yet into Santa, but they are starting to love Christmas 🙂
Minsang lang sila maging bata that is why I make most out of it
I did not grow up receiving any gifts from Santa. Haha My mom knew we were preparing socks, plastic bag, even to hang by the window but never convinced us he wasn’t real. Haha Felt stupid the whole time when my classmates would say he isn’t real while there I was defending he was real. Haha
Anyway, my kids already know he isn’t real when they watched Arthur Christmas. 🙂 I had to tell them the truth becaus they were putting hopes on something which does not exist. 🙂 It did not really became a problem. Every Christmas, they are happy to celebrate Christmas and receiving gifts from us. 🙂
🙂 I let him enjoy his childhood and imagination eventually malalaman din naman nya ang totoo he he he as long as we don’t forget to tell him the true essence and meaning of Christmas 🙂
I was brought up knowing Santa Claus but not as a fan of him. My grandma was a devoted Catholic and I guess medyo pang-rich ang Santa Claus since you should have parents to give you secret gifts to be able to have that kind of Santa belief. And I didn’t have parents na ganon haha. But I think its ok for some families because the kids will eventually outgrow that and the most important thing is pag narealize nya na kayo ang giver ng gifts, he’ll get to be more appreciative of his family.
That smile is priceless! Unfortunately for our son, he learned early on that we (his parents) are his Santa Claus, so weeks before Christmas, he already tells us what he wants to receive as his Christmas gifts.
Ang cute naman! Good job si ate sales lady a! 🙂 My son already knows that Santa is a fictional character. I forgot actually where he got it (baka ako pala nagsabi). It’s so nice though to believe in it while they’re young.
yah habang innocent pa sila 🙂
My daughter didn’t believe in Santa Claus. Her nursery teacher was very religious and told them that Santa is not real and that Christmas is about Jesus. (kaloka!)
Aww. I can imagine his priceless excitement when he saw his gift from “Santa Claus”. Medyo nostalgic kasi I remember being excited every Christmas too because I know I have a gift from Santa Claus.
I also love capturing my kids’ reaction whenever they are opening gifts. But I always tell my kids that everything they have are given by Jesus. But they know who Santa is. 🙂
My brother recommended I might like this website. He was totally right. This post actually made my day. You cann’t imagine simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
